BY G. C. CHAMPION, F.Z.S. 



Tachys vmJherianus, Sharp (antea, p. 125). — Dtirint? a recent visit 

 to the New Forest Dr. Sharp was kind enough to introduce me to the 

 habitat of this species, and a few additional examples were captured, 

 on June 24th. The insects recorded under the name T. parrtdus by 

 Mr. Donisthorpe, from the New Forest, and by myself from Horsell, 

 are T. walkerianvs. Capt. Deville tells me that he has taken the latter 

 at Chateauroux (Indre) and Fontainebleau, and I have it from Limoges. 

 T. parvidns has been found by myself in many localities in Spain, &c., 

 always on the sandy or shingly banks of running streams, whereas 

 T. walkerianus occurs in Sphagnum, in or near woods. 



BradyceUns shatyi, Joy (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1912, p. 257). — 

 Capt. Deville (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1913, pp. 97 and 228) records this 

 species from, various localities in France: Tport (Seine-Inferieure), 

 La Rosaie (Eure), Marly (Seine-et-Oise), and Normandy, and also 

 states that it probably occurs in Holland and at Tangier. 



Quedius ialparum, Deville (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1910, p. 158). — 

 Capt. Deville {op. cit., 1913, p. 271) states that the mole's-nest species 

 described by him under the name Q. talparuni is synonymous with 

 Q. othiniensis, Johansen (1907). This is the insect introduced into our 

 list by Mr. Joy in 1906 under the name Q. vexans. 



Actohius ytenensis, Sharp {anten, p. 101). — This species also I 

 have been able to see in life in the New Forest, thanks to Dr. Sharp. 

 The following is an additional locality for it : Chobham, Surrey (three 

 specimens from Sphagnum, taken by myseK on March 30th, 1877. 

 Mr Joy, too, has, I believe, captured it in Berkshire. 



Planeustomus (Compsochihis) flavicoUis, Fauv. (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 1912, p. 162). — The insect from Caterham recorded by myself in 1875 

 (op. cit. XII, p. 39) as C. palpalis is P. flavicoUis, Fauv. Dr. Sharp's 

 specimen was taken in the New Forest. 



Laccohius purpurascens, Newbery (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1908, p. 30).— 

 Capt. Deville informs me that he has specimens of this insect from south- 

 western France, from near Castres, on red sandstone, as at Teignmouth. 



Henoticus germanicus, Reitter. — Capt. Deville (Bull. Soc. Ent. 

 Fr., 1913, p. 79) notes that this species, recently recorded from Britain 

 by Mr. Newbery (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1912, p. 286), has been taken by 

 Dr. Everts in Holland in dried api-icots. He suggests that the insect 

 may have been imported from California. Allied forms are known from 

 Mexico and Guatemala. H. serratus, Gyll., is apparently Holarctic in its 

 distribution.
